The Second Woman

1) The second woman was hanging by her tongue and hot liquid was being poured down her throat; as she would annoy her husband.

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) is reported to have said: “Four (types of) women will enter the Garden and four types will be in the Fire. One of the Women who will enter paradise is she who keeps her tongue from nagging him when he is at home, and one of the women who will be in the Fire is she who is fouled mouthed and a nagging wife to her husband, and when home she hurts him with her tongue.i

ii Nasai

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, “Allah will not look at a woman who is ungrateful to her husband, while unable to do without him.”ii

Those women who give difficulty to their husbands take a lesson from this, be it with the tongue or other ways, nor is it permissible for the husband to do the same. However, this hadith talks about what the Prophet saw in the night of Mi’raj which was those women who could not control there tongues from nagging at their husband who where hanging by their tongues.

Not controlling the tongue

If someone hits someone else with an object or their fist, after sometime the pain will disappear, however, at times people say words although does not cause physical pain, it does scar people internally for life and leads people not to speak to that person. Not controlling the tongue destroys the peace and tranquillity in one’s house. Women who have a habit of hurting their husband’s and vice versa should take a lesson from what the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) saw on the night of Mi’raj.
